Use The Ombre Technique To Create Stunning And Colorful Designs For Your Home

Ombre, a term that comes from Latin, refers to a technique that requires having colors or tones that shade into each other. Most often we see colors that gradually go from light to dark and it’s a term that can be applied to a lot of types of projects, especially in interior design. So let’s see what you can achieve with this technique.

A similar type of combination was also used here but the difference is that, in this case, the shades are better delimitated by the white stripes. This way it’s easier to see the slight difference in shade.

You can create wonderful ombre walls by also using unusual combinations of color. The combination of grey and yellow is definitely not one of the most popular but it’s very beautiful and wonderfully executed here.

Also, it’s not absolutely necessary to paint all the walls with the same colors or techniques. An ombre wall can be a great accent wall and you can create a cohesive overall look by using similar shades.

And here’s the yellow and grey combination used beautifully once again. The walls have yellow on the bottom which fades into white and what’s beautiful is how everything else fits into the same color palette.

This is a more unusual type of ombre wall. In the case of this accent wall, the middle point where the two colors should gradually blend is very small and so the transition is sudden. However, it’s an intentional look meant to make the wall stand out.

Ombre carpets.

Since areas rugs and carpets are great ways of introducing color into a room, why not experiment with something a little more different such as an ombre carpet for example? This one has blue sides that meet in a white center.

It’s a little difficult to see, but this carpet actually features different shades of grey. It starts as a dark grey at one end and it becomes light grey little by little as the carpet reaches the window wall.

A pink and white ombre carpet can also be a bold addition to a room. It will look even more interesting if you place it on a dark floor. Here, for example, the black parquet floor is the perfect background to make this carpet stand out.

Ombre wall art.

Since this technique is so artistic and stylish, it sounds logical to use it when you’re creating wall art. Here, for example, we have a series of canvases with paint chips glued on them and they create beautiful ombre patterns.

You can also pick a pattern and combine two simple techniques to create great wall art to display in your home. This zig zag pattern is quite nice, especially since the yellow gradually fades out and becomes a pastel.

To make something similar to this type of wall art you’ll need five blue acrylic paints. You could also just have one or two and mix them with white to get different shades. Attach wooden letters on the canvas if you want to also send a message.

This is an interesting mix of colors. The ombre pattern on one side features shades of pink while on the other side the duvet is pastel turquoise. The white pillow and sheet are a perfect background for the colors.

Ombre curtains.

If you want to add some color to your bedroom, for example, you could make some wonderful ombre curtains. Just dip them in colored water and slowly minimize the amount of fabric that goes in so that the color can be more potent at the bottom.

Add some colors into your living room by choosing colorful curtains. They don’t have to be colored when you buy them because you can give them a makeover. Make your own ombre curtains with some colored water.

Usually the light color goes at the top and the dark one at the bottom. However, there’s no rule that says you can’t change the order. These ombre curtains are very interesting because of that and they complement the two-toned décor beautifully.
